You'll find several fashion-forward pieces that catch your eye this month. Stick with the ones that will add a little extra pop to your wardrobe and stay tuned for more fabulous finds this season. TRENDS |  | Invest in a Vest
A vest can spruce up any outfit but the right vest can be a real head turner. Ann Taylor (702.270.0692) knocks it out of the park this season with a variety of looks that will turn any head your way. We love this versatile Faux Fur Vest ($198). You can pair it with a sleek denim skirt or sexy denim jeans and stilettos. Put just the right shirt underneath and you have the perfect outfit for a night on the town. |  | | 
| Fall Flair
While skinny jeans and slender pants have been a mainstay, we are glad to see the return of the wide leg, flaired pant. GUESS by Marciano (702.269.8601) showcases this spectacular look with its Blake Super Flare Pant and pairs it with a Mock Turtleneck, its Candace Cable Fur Vest and the Melaney Pump. The outfit sports style and sophistication and is the perfect ensemble to take you into fall. | | | 
| Pretty in Pink
Slip into something soft and comfy at bedtime with Victoria's Secret (702.270.0088) Modal Cami and Short Set($42). While fall is getting closer it's not quite time to break out the flannel PJs yet so enjoy the mild weather in this pink set with lace trim. You'll feel pretty in pink all season long. | | | 
| Mad for Plaid
School is in full swing and Aéropostale (702.914.9311) has just the right staple shirt to weave into your child's wardrobe. This Long Sleeve Open Plaid Shirt ($19.75) is the perfect fall piece to pair with jeans. Add a white tee underneath for an extra layer of warmth. | | |  | Perk up Your Purse

Its Quilted Hobo Bag ($98) is roomy and spacious and features an all-over quilted fabrication. | | |  | Redesign Your Denim
A staple pair of denim is a must for men and women, and finding the right fit can be a challenge. Abercrombie & Fitch (702.270.2889) has introduced the redesigned 2012 jeans for men that boast a more rugged look, a waist that doesn't gap and a slimmer leg on all fits. We love the classic straight fit ($78) in the darker wash for fall. With just a touch of fading, it will add a little edge to his look. |  | | WHAT'S NEW |

The ingredients include 2 cups rolled oats, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons spelt flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 cup canola or high-heat sunflower oil, 1/2 cup pure maple syrup and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the oats in a medium saucepan and toast over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until oats are slightly golden and fragrant, for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, maple syrup and vanilla until combined. Add the maple mixture to the oat mixture and stir to combine completely. The dough will be warm. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
